Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 2026

1. Introduction

CM Terminal is a personal research site. This Privacy Policy explains what information may be collected when you visit this website, how that information may be used, and how it may be protected.

Core principle: data minimization. This website does not require user registration, and it does not intentionally collect personally identifiable information such as names, addresses, or phone numbers unless you voluntarily provide that information through direct communication.

2. Information Collected Automatically

As you browse and interact with this website, certain technical information may be collected automatically about your device, browser, and usage patterns.

  • Log data. Hosting and infrastructure providers may collect standard log information such as IP address, browser type, internet service provider, referring and exit pages, device information, timestamps, and aggregate usage data.
  • Local storage. Your browser may store certain interface or reading preferences locally on your device. This information is used to improve user experience and is not treated as a registered user profile.

3. Analytics and Cookies

This website uses Google Analytics to understand site usage patterns and improve the presentation, organization, and performance of research content.

  • Cookies. Google Analytics uses cookies or similar technologies to collect standard internet log information and visitor behavior in an aggregated or pseudonymous form.
  • IP anonymization. Where available and enabled, IP anonymization or equivalent privacy settings may be used to reduce personal identifiability.
  • Opt-out. You may refuse cookies through your browser settings. You may also use the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on if you wish to limit analytics tracking.

4. Infrastructure and Third-Party Services

CM Terminal is hosted on modern web infrastructure. When you visit this site, your browser may interact with hosting and content delivery services whose own data handling practices are governed by their respective terms and privacy policies.

This website does not operate a live data retrieval system or transmit user queries to external financial data providers. Research content is developed from public company disclosures and published as static analytical writing.

5. Independence

CM Terminal is independently maintained by Aaron Qin. It is not affiliated with, funded by, or representative of any government authority, regulator, public institution, or commercial financial organization unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Views, interpretations, and analytical outputs published here are independent and should not be understood as the official position of any outside entity.

6. Data Security

Reasonable measures may be used to help protect information from accidental loss and from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure. Data transmitted between your browser and the website infrastructure is protected using standard encryption (HTTPS).

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. Accordingly, no absolute guarantee of security can be made.

7. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. Any material changes will be reflected on this page, and the most recent update date will appear at the top.
